i remove the tires to grease mine. then you know you got them good.
Newer style axles have a hole you can insert your grease nozzle with the tire on. Old style you gotta remove the tire. pump it till you start to see grease around the outter seal and while its jacked up might as well give the axles a wiggle to check for a possible worn bearing.
also...those fittings that go on the end of a grease gun hose and then clamp to the zert fitting really help . lets you use 2 hands to pump in the grease. jboy
+1 for removing the tire to grease bearings. Looks like a bigfoot in your profile picture with 25" tires on. I have a vanguard 2 with 22" tires on and can just reach around them to grease the bearing and axle seal. Also use marine grease l. It's built for it
Guy I bought the machine from used Argo brand grease. I would assume this is just branded marine grease and should work fine, Anyone have any thoughts about the Argo brand line up of lubricants? That is what the previous owner has used since the machine was new?
